Summary
Osseous haemangiomas are rather rare. They usually present with vague symptoms and bizarre radiological pictures. Clinical suspicion and radiological speculation can only be confirmed by proper histopathological examination. Localised lesions are curable following excision. Others should be subjected to radiotherapy. This paper presents observation on 29 cases of osseous haemangiomas.
Zusammenfassung
Hämangiome des Knochens sind ziemlich selten. In der Regel sind die Symptome uncharakteristisch, und es besteht ein eigentümliches röntgenologisches Bild. Bei klinischem und röntgenologischem Verdacht können die diagnostischen Zweifel nur durch entsprechende histopathologische Untersuchungen beseitigt werden. Solitäre Läsionen sind operativ zu entfernen. Generalisierter Befall erfordert eine Strahlentherapie. In diesem Beitrag wird über 29 Fälle von Knochenhämangiomen berichtet.
